Okay. So you’re onto something with there being money involved in the decision. Right.

And so when owning a building becomes more profitable, what happens to construction? Construction that is already too expensive.

Expensive is costs too much money … right? Anyone? High construction cost, then there’s an increasing in the net present value of an apartment building …

Anybody see where I’m going with this? Yes, you in the back there

Right. Yes. That’s a good answer because when you pay rent the landlord does indeed get the money.

I was asking more about what happens to building construction. Anyone?

Nothing happens. There are loads of zoning laws that make it effectively impossible to build in most areas these days anyway
